Awesome Carrot Muffins image

I run a day care and was looking for a good snack too feed the kids with little sugar but still big on taste. I came up with these. I have made a batch of these for the last three days now and can't keep them around. Even the parents have been asking for the recipe. Frost with the Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting recipe.

Overall, I thought these muffins were just okay. They were easy to make and had a nice flavor, but they were a bit too dry and crumbly for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my muffins didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. They were still tasty, but not what I was hoping for.
